It didn’t take long for the Vegas Golden Knights to score their first regular season goal on home ice at T-Mobile Arena.
After a tremendously well done pre-game ceremony, in which the Golden Knights honored first responders and victims and their families in the wake of the deadly mass shooting earlier this month, Vegas jumped out to a quick lead on the Arizona Coyotes.
Tomas Nosek scored the historic franchise goal, beating Antti Raanta with a wrist shot to the glove side just 2:31 into the game.
The first period wasn’t even seven minutes old by the time the Golden Knights had a 3-0 advantage, leading to a frenzied celebration.
Deryk Engelland and James Neal also scored to give Vegas that three-goal lead.
